• 00:00 - 00:30 - [Mr. Beast] I've recreated every single set from Squid Game in real life, and whichever one of these 456 people survives the longest, wins 456 grand. (contestants cheering) The first game we're gonna play is red light, green light. They have 30 minutes to cross the red line on the other side of the huge room. So without further ado, green light. (tense music) Red light. (gun shot) Oh, oh. And as you can see, every single player has a device strapped to them, that when they're eliminated, it pops.
• 00:30 - 01:00 Chris, you wanna have a chance at one? - Red light. (gun shot) Oh, oh, no. - I know for sure this guy moved. Green light. - Red light. Oh yo, they're dropping. Okay, now some people are getting out. - You gotta get a better spot for the next red light, right? - Mmhmm. - You're fine. - 30 people have gotten out so far. If they move right now, they're out. They have to hold this position until we say green light. And I can take all the time I want, 'cause we still have 23 minutes left. - We gotta get a green light going.
• 01:00 - 01:30 This guy's doing a full squat. - Green light. Green light. Oh they all stopped. Red light. (gun shot) Oh. - I called it, I called it. Oh no. - Can you push my glasses up? - Okay. - Do it slowly though, be careful. - Are you good? - Yeah, perfect. - Okay. Green light. Red light. You're still moving. She was jogging over here. We're gonna go see who's in the very back. You are in dead last. What's going on? - I let the others clear the path for me. - You literally haven't even moved.
• 01:30 - 02:00 - Well, a couple steps. - We'll see if it pans out, green light. Yellow, red light. Oh, that we got her, the yellow light worked. - Oh, that was diabolical to throw a yellow light out there. - Since 067 was a big part of the show. I'll let you say green light. - [All] Green light. - Red light, yo, it would be funny if she just got out. As you can see, over 100 people have been eliminated. Do the honors, Chandler. - Green light, red light. (gun shot)
• 02:00 - 02:30 - [Mr. Beast] Oh, that was a loud one. - There it is, ay. - Green light. Red light. Look how close they are to the finish line. It is do or die for most of these people. Everyone look up at the TV. You have four minutes and 20 seconds left. - Yeah, that's the number. - Green light, red light. We have our first two finishers over here. - Lets go! - Green light, red light. - Yes sir, baby. Yes sir, baby.

Red light. - Only two minutes remain. - Karl makes me way too nervous. - Green light. Red light. - We have under one minute remaining. Time's ticking, green light.

Dude, I knew that would work, green light. Red light. You're definitely, so many of you just got out. - They gotta run faster. - They've gotta, you gotta sprint. - Green light. Green light. I'm not even gonna say red light,
• 03:30 - 04:00 I'm not saying red light. Ah, its too late. Too late. (crowd cheering) - Whoa. - Holy crap. - Congratulations on surviving red light green light. (contestants cheering) So if you look at this TV, you'll see that only (TV twinkling) 232 of you survived. If you look above your head, you'll see the $456,000 you're competing for. And now let's move on to honeycomb.
• 04:00 - 04:30 In honeycomb, everyone gets a needle, and a cookie with a different shape on it, and they have 10 minutes to remove the shape from the cookie. But if they break the shape, they're eliminated. All right, so everybody I'm gonna need you to get in the line in front of one of these question marks. (tense music) Why did you pick this one? - Just like, the middle. - Basically you don't think it's umbrella. - There's an umbrella? - Did you even watch Squid Game? - So many of these people are about to get out. - Reveal shape number one. (contestants cheering)

And with that, I'm gonna need you all to split up into groups of 10. We had them form teams because next up is tug of war. - This could determine your chance at half a million dollars. - We needed the strongest people and the smartest people. We have intelligence, skill, and brawn. - We trying to recruit the biggest people, so we can get real strong and pull the rope. - Sorry, no girls allowed. - Oh, no girls allowed, boo, okay.
• 07:30 - 08:00 - I just sent three people off. We got 10 now let's go. - Let's go! - I should have taken the four grand. - We now have 12 different groups of 10 people.

(team cheering) Sir, can you come over here? Why don't you draw? Don't look, grab one from here, and one from here, and then grab one from here. Team number four versus team number 10. (team cheering) If I was you guys, I'd be terrified, 'cause they have 456. He's literally the main character.
• 09:30 - 10:00 - Let's go! - Three, two, one, go. Oh, they're getting, oh. Oh, it's going over to 456. They're falling. They're dropping They all just fell. Obviously we have no way of rigging it, but 456 and 067 both survived tug of war. Let's draw, oh boy.

Don't let them. Oh yes. Oh, they broke the set. They literally broke it. You guys can move on. Go ahead and head on now. Tug of war took us from 120 people down to 60. And remember, only one of these people is walking away
• 10:30 - 11:00 with $456,000. All right, everybody. Can we have your attention? As you guys know from Squid Games, game number four is marbles. (contestants cheering) - I don't know if I'd be cheering, because instead of letting you pick your partner, we're gonna make you partner with your best friend. Throughout this entire challenge, we've been monitoring who you've been talking to the most, and we're gonna make you partner up with them. And only one of you can move on. For example, 067 and 431. - That's my best friend.
• 11:00 - 11:30 - According to this, you two are roommates and best friends. We did our research. - I have to come home to the house we live in at the end of the day, gonna be a bit awkward. - Wouldn't be able to do it without you, man. - We couldn't have done it without each other. - I'm glad I'm with you at the end. - [Mr. Beast] Everybody gets a bag of 10 marbles, and they have to agree on a game to play it against their best friend. 20 marbles lets them move on. But by winning, they eliminate their best friend. Go ahead and start the timer. You can play whatever game you want, but you need 20 to leave. A lot of pairs went with marble games
• 11:30 - 12:00 that were played in Squid Game. - Odd. - Even. - Odd or even? - Even on that side. - What? What game are you playing? - We don't know. One marble at a time, it's gonna take all day. - If you keep talking, it might. - Okay. - [Mr. Beast] And other groups got creative. - What is this game? - We're throwing it at the bricks, right? If you get the middle one right there, that's one point. But if you hit the bricks in the behind, then its three points. Everything else is no points until the clock runs down, Whoever has most points is the winner. - All right, well good luck with your game.
• 12:00 - 12:30 - But one group just wanted to get it over with. You're doing even odds for all of it. Yo, he looks so intense. - He's got one marble. - Are you sure? - Oh, he got it, oh my gosh. Congratulations on winning. I'll see you in the next round. - You're good buddy, you're good, okay? - I'm so sad. - Why are you sad? It's gonna be okay. - We promised each other we were not gonna screw each other over. I didn't even know we were gonna be this close. - I'm doing this for my family, but I'm nervous.
• 12:30 - 13:00 - Best man's gonna win. - Best man win man. - Best man's gonna win. - [Mr. Beast] Everybody, you've got five minutes left. - Don't look at me. - They want to put $465,000 Up to a coin flip. - You had to make it sound like that, huh? Tails. - It's tails. - Yo, oh no. - Odd?
• 13:00 - 13:30 - I'll give you the honor of eliminating your best friend. - Oh no, that's even worse. - Ah. - Aww. - It doesn't hurt. Before I eliminate you, I wanna let the viewers know that someone random that subscribes in the next seven days is getting $10,000.

Oh, what was that? - Why'd you do that? - You sure? - Yeah. - He has been eliminated, thank you, sir. - I love you, man. - The time has hit zero. Everyone in here is eliminated. Congratulations on surviving marbles.
• 14:00 - 14:30 At this point in the real show, there was an all out brawl to thin the numbers. So instead we're gonna play Ddakji. You have to use this blue piece of paper to flip that red one on the ground by throwing it. The first 16 of you to flip your red square moves on to glass bridge, which is personally my favorite game. Everyone throw. Oh wow, we didn't even get anyone. And while they're fighting for their chance in this competition, I wanna tell you guys about Brawl Stars, who helped fund this video, which cost over three and a half million dollars. Thank you so much. Throw.

It's a mobile game, you can download it on Android or Apple. - I didn't tell him to say this. - Lets go! - Yeah! - Yo, the main characters survived. As you can see, you see the Brawl Stars logo, he did it. They have over 50 different characters you can play as, from a vintage driven robot to a cactus named spike, that kind of looks like Nolan. - Hey.
• 15:30 - 16:00 - And like all our contestants here are leaving with $2,000 for free today. Every single person that plays Brawl Stars within the next seven days, I will personally be giving you a free prize. So if you haven't already, go download it. If you yell "Thank you, Brawl Stars." Before you throw, I hear you'll flip it. - [Contestants] Thank you Brawl Stars! - Oh, it worked for him. - Oh my God, it's true. - Thank you, Brawl Stars. - And for the 14 of you that didn't flip it, I'm gonna have to eliminate you. Oh, that was so in sync, oh my gosh. Now can all of you winners turn around. Thank you, and now you can turn around again.

I'm sticking, I'm sticking. - All right, she survived the first jump.
• 17:00 - 17:30 Okay, they are one for one so far. - Go right? - I'm always right. - Okay. - I don't know if I'd listen to Chris. - Chris, this is on you. - Hey, victory. - We had our first loss. If you're wondering where she just fell, don't worry, there's a giant foam pit down there, she's fine. Well now, now you know.
